Default needing a turbo for my car gt 70 went bad

OK I have a 99 z28 and I have the car at the shop they put an sts set up on my car, but the turbo is no good. I was wondering if anyone no's what turbo I can put on my car. I called sts and they said that one of there turbo's cost 1600 dollars and I really don't want to spend that much. I had the upgrade gt-70 so if any body knows help me. I just need to know what other turbo will fit with out buy one from sts. thank you

I'm 100% sure ForcedInductions can hook you up with a good turbo that will work for less than that

I'm sure Jose can rebuild it for far less than what you could buy a new one for

well exoticperformanceplus had my car for like 7 weeks they said that the turbo seal went bad so they sent out to have it rebuilt. Well the turbo came back with new seals so they put it on the car then dyno it. Then you had another problem with the car it would not go past 5 grand when it did the car started to die? They weren't sure about that. Then they called me and said that the turbo shaft broke not for sure on that broke but it did even after it was already sent out the first time?

Hmm... first $1600, then a broken shaft out of no where?? Turbos don't break shafts unless they are not properly installed, or not enough oil, or oil is getting backed up. Seems strange.
